Keenly priced and packed with effects, this compact Costway 18-inch recessed electric fireplace is an electric heater with the widest range of looks in this collection. It heats spaces up to 37m² with 1500-1600W of power, and a built-in thermostat adjusts from 17°C to 32°C for precise warmth. At around 1600W it costs roughly 42p per hour at 26p/kWh on full heat, with the thermostat cutting cost once the room is warm; as a 100% efficient electric heater, every watt becomes heat for effective zone heating of a single room. Where it really stands out is the visuals: 8 flame colours, 3 brightness levels, 5 speed settings and 6 ember bed colours, all of which run without heat for year-round display. The remote adjusts temperature, flame and ember colours and the timer from up to 4m away. It's UKCA certified with automatic overheat protection, and the metal and tempered-glass build keeps it sturdy at just 7kg. The slim 49.1 x 12.3 x 45cm body recesses neatly – just keep the top and back 20cm clear of the wall for ventilation. In the box: the electric fireplace insert, remote control and instruction manual.
